The ball mill is the important equipment in the mining industry, with the development of the macroscale ball mill, and is more difficult of liner's wearing,installation and taking apart. The service life which raises a liner will prolong the production period that the ball mill, influencing an economic benefit of the concentrating mill.
At Carajas, the new grinding plant was operational in 2002, with two ball mill lines followed by a desliming plant. The closed circuit, wet grinding mills were designed to operate at 600% circulating load, in order to minimize the production of fine particles and consequently give increased recovery at the desliming plant.
